Nimo ::adoptED::
Nimo was brought to the high-kill shelter in Asan, South Korea when she was only two months old. She was found wandering the village all by herself. Nimo was incredibly shy with humans but adored all the other dogs at the shelter. After four months of living there, Nimo started warming up to people and is now showing her playful, silly side. She is the most tiny & delicate white fawn!
A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE Nimo THINGS FROM her FOSTERS…
Nimo is a sweet dog without a mean bone in her body! She can’t resist play time. When there is a toy around, she will gladly play. Even if there are no toys, when she gets excited she will do adorable zoomies around the room to let you know how happy she is. Speaking of playfulness: she will try to play with every animal around, and every leaf on the ground is a new toy.
She is super smart and eager to learn. When she tackles something successfully during training, afterwards she will do happy zoomies around the room with pride.
She is crate trained and happily snoozes the night away in there.
A FEW THINGS Nimo IS WORKING ON FROM her FOSTERS…
Nimo is cautious with new people, and might grumble or bark a little bit during the initial meeting. With enough treats and time she gradually tolerates folks and will even play with them. She needs to continue to have positive interactions with people to build up her confidence.
She is showing a little bit of growing separation anxiety when her favorite people aren’t around. It is still early enough to be addressed through training.
Nimo has figured out how to open her crate from inside! She will need a backup clip to keep her crate secured.
THE IDEAL FAMILY FOR Nimo WOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING:
- A quiet & calm household.
- A friendly animal companion (cat or dog) who will play with Nimo and not pick on her.
- Tons of patience and space (along with guidance/direction) while she acclimates.
